Moroccan-Style Chickpea & Chard Stew

Nourishing and delicious, this Moroccan-Style Chickpea & Chard Stew is quick to make when you have cans of chickpeas on hand. The chermoula sauce gives this dish an aromatic freshness. Chermoula is very similar to the salsa verde prevalent in Hispanic cooking. Given the history of Spain, it is not surprising that North African cuisine should be the origin of this delicious sauce. Make a large batch to freeze for future use. It’s great tossed with steamed vegetables.

Ingredients

Chermoula:

1 tablespoon olive oil

½ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste

6 garlic cloves

2 teaspoons sweet paprika

1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns

1½ teaspoons ground cumin

½ teaspoon turmeric

2 tablespoons broth, plus extra if needed

2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley

Stew:

1 large bunch of chard, washed, soft leaves stripped from the stems, stems set aside

1. First make the chermoula: In a blender, add the oil, salt, garlic, paprika, black peppercorns, cumin, turmeric, and 2 tablespoons broth to moisten. Blend. Add the cilantro and parsley. Blend until a rough paste is formed. Add broth or water as necessary to loosen the paste. Set aside.

2. Begin the stew by adding the wet chard leaving into a hot pan, covered, until they have wilted. Drain, coarsely chop and set aside. Dice the chard stems and set aside.

3. Cover the chickpeas with water and gently rub them together to remove the skins. Discard the skins. Drain and set aside.

4. Heat the oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over a medium high heat. Add the onion, dried chili, red pepper, diced chard stems and thyme. Fry until the vegetables begin to soften. Stir in the reserved chermoula sauce, chickpeas, and ½ cup of broth. Cook until the onions are soft.
